Monday's Morning Email: Could The Pilot Be Behind The Missing Plane?


We wonder why the pilots are being investigated.  It turns out that Capt Sha harbor anti govt sentiments being sympathizer of Abdul Ibrahim.

Why does he have a flight simulator in the house?  Why did his family leave their house one day before his flight?  Why did he wear  "Democracy is dead t shirt?"   Why did he watch the hearing for Ibrahim before his flight?

How bankers defeated Putins Russian troop at Ukraine

How bankers defeated Putin to the draw

From Rumormillnews - Ukraine victory defeats Putin

 

Putin had to change his tune and withdraw the troops to Russia after the invasion of Ukraine was imminent.

From Time - Effects on Russian Economy is staggering

Reason: Russian stocks fell as well as debt papers by as much as 10% in one day.  Putin had to call the bluff.   With a down rating, Russian companies had to borrow at a higher rate.  He needs those foreign borrowing to keep the Russian economy growing


Who said that power comes only from barrel of a gun or tank?  Bankers around the world defeated the Russian dictator without firing a shot.

Prof Tim Bernes Lees brainchild was the web


From NBC news  by Keith Wagstaff

Tomorrow is the 25th birthday of the web. when Prof Tim Bernes Lee released the code for data transfer to the world for free  It would have been as old as Harry Potter.  This was a result of scientific paper entitled:  "Information Management:   a Proposal" at a physics laboratory in Switzerland, 25 years this week   Before this was emails and forums but thereafter, data was shared with just anybody.  It became a mass adapted technology.  The ww was not widely used until December 20 1990 when Prof Lee created the first website. It made its debut to the public on August 6, 1991.

According to Al Jazeera forum last night, there are over 2 billion internet users and the number is growing at the rate of 8 new users a second (I just joined the group 3 years ago this April) the ranking of users are:    USA, Europe, ME China, Asia, and Africa.  Africa lags the rest of the world in web use.  But it has great potential.  Drones are seen as a solution to this problem by having geostationary drone deliver broadband for free.

Is it a good or bad thing?

Good:   faster learning, faster research, connectivity

Bad thing:  censorship, hacking, computer fraud privacy issues

Is internet good or bad?
